Mechanistic Characterization of Shredded Tire Stress Dissipation and Drainage Sublayers in Roads to Mitigate Frost Heave in Canadian Field State Conditions

Annually over a million scrap tires are generated in Saskatchewan which in the past have been disposed of in landfills and streams. At the same time, Saskatchewan has also experienced a drastic increase in truck traffic on roadway infrastructure that is ageing. This has resulted in the need for the construction of new roads and […]

Impact Fatigue Testing for Soil Openers

This project focus on designing a fatigue cycling machine to test soil openers for low cycle, impact fatigue. This process begins by identifying and characterizing the load in case, and then continue into detailed design, fabrication and commissioning. Characteristics such as robustness, reliability and safety will be strongly emphasised. This testing machine will then form […]
